Just one younger brother, but he looks nothing like me (mail man's kid perhaps)

I would too. WAB, do you remember the name of the cafe by chance?

WWF was in the area and we were stopping through really early in the morning. Andre the Giant and his peeps stopped in the place and wanted it to themselves so he bought lbreakforst for everyone in the place.

we got her from a rescue center,they thought she was a wolf cub and was going to kill her..but we asked a vet to look at her and he told us it was a Husky puppy ,so we took her home...best dog I have ever had..

Pagan · Tue Mar 13, 2012 2:30 pm

Cool- I was curious, she def looks like she's a mix of some sort.
I have two rescue wolf hybrids and they're AWESOME animals, they had a bunch of pups 6 months ago and I have kept two of the pups. We live on 8 acres so its more doable.
I'll probably wind up only being able to keep one of the pups though, theyre a handful.

Welcome, and don't forget to get started on your mock draft. Could net you $50 in Bears swag and plenty of gloating power around here.

My two older girls knew how to sing the fight song when they were 2 and 3. My youngest... well everything she says sounds like FUCK right now. I think that pretty much sums up what it's like to be a Bears fan recently.

I realize this may not be a popular stand, but I've never been a fan of the NSFW content. There are plenty of other places to find and/or share that stuff. I mean, don't get me wrong... I f*&king love me some porno... but is that who we want to be?

For the record... I haven't yet seen anything I would hide from a 15-year-old, but I fear the NSFW tag gradually lowers the standards. Just my thoughts.

Oh hey, look... here's a new guy. Welcome to BFO Gaytoe.

We basically keep it to that one thread. I pretty much keep everything else on tabs. If you see something pretty testy in an unmarked thread, PM me and I'll take care of it.

gaba · Fri Apr 27, 2012 11:52 am

To get back on track... I've noticed that, while I've been here a lot, I haven't actually participated in the point of this thread, so here goes...

Name: Brian

From: Springfield, MO

Bears fan since 1985... the first football game I remember watching was Superbowl XX.

Favorite Food: anything with lots of veggies in/on it... normal stuff, but packed with veggies... spaghetti with chunks of veggies in the sauce, brats with loads of peppers on top, Veggie Lovers pizza. Anything you can think of would be 10x better with loads of peppers or mushrooms, maybe some brocolli or spinach piled on top.

Favorite Drink: Lemonaid, Cherry Dr. Pepper, Orange Juice. I'm not a non-drinker as a rule, but I don't really do alcohol anymore. I always end up nekkid. Funny when you live in a frat-house. Not so much when your wife and kids are waiting up for you.

Favorite Music: Foo Fighters. Nirvana, with the caveat that Dave is what made it work. Without him they're just another good indy band with great lyrics and music nobody gives a sh*t about. Anything loud and abusive. Sacrilige is a plus... ie, Marilyn Manson kind of kicks ass.

Favorite Bear: Chris Zorich

Misc: I'm so liberal I think socialism is too conservative. I get into fights in atheist groups because other atheists think I'm either too liberal or too intolerant of religious people.

LOL indeed! My wife breathed a huge sigh of relief seeing the ultrasound Twins run in her family and carrying two would have made her head explode. She's not too fond of being pregnant.

Yeah, my little guy has the "Bear down Chicago Bears" part but the rest usually comes out as danna-nana-na-na-na-nanana, mostly because that's all I remember. Was always really impressed with the drunk guys who'd sing the whole thing shirtless in the middle of winter at the games I went to as a kid.

My 10 year old daughter has it down...but that's because I play it and sing it after every TD.

So once we got rid of Grossman, she's heard it a lot more.

I think with DaDoc and BigGrabowski we have some quality new members - stick around, guys!
